Local lake today.

 

Yes, that's a trolling motor and battery. 

 

I'm going to say, "nope."

 

That’s a lot of beef and water displacement right there. Hope there’s not power boats in the area. One wake and their sunk.

5 MPH limit on this lake. No wake.  

 

 

It's obvious that the CCC has been exceeded.

Although I don’t own a kayak (yet) I’m in total agreement with saying “nope”?.  Can’t wait to show this to a coworker who owns a couple two man kayaks .

Given the lack of freeboard - my first glance had me asking 'What are they doing on a paddleboard?'

Low freeboard!!!! 
 

That’s the reason I ditched my trolling motor and battery on my small river boat and went with oars and oar locks . My friends pointed it out to me after they took this photo. Granted I was solo and had the back loaded down, but it’s really not hard to paddle that boat. Trolling motor didn’t give that much of an advantage versus the weight of the battery. I’ve taken waves from cabin cruisers in that boat since I was born, it’s never even splashed in 

 

That’s frightening. A hard turn could swamp them.  And I need an ice chest like that.  
 

i hope they caught fish safely.  Sheesh. 

Fortunately she's got that PFD to keep her seat from drowning.
